1 Poltegor-Instytut ongoing project, areas of interest Barbara Rogosz Ludwigshafen

2 WSTAW POLTEGOR-INSTYTUT- TYTUŁ SLAJDU MISSION The mission of Poltegor Instytutute is to create innovative processess and technologies, methods and technological solutions in the area of geology, geoenginering and opencast mining according to the policy of energy safety and sustainable development. 2

3 WSTAW STAFF TYTUŁ SLAJDU Since more than 60 years POLTEGOR-INSTITUTE has been conducting research and technology development activities in the field of open cast mining of lignite and rock materials, extending these works into other industry branches. Organizational structure of the Institute is divided into interdisciplinary work teams which are strengthened with an access to 12 laboratories. The Institute employs 60 persons. 3

4 STRUCTURE WSTAW TYTUŁ SLAJDU Department of mining Department of geology and environment protection Department of sustainable development and international cooperation Department of technology and exploitation of coveyor belts Department of mining machines and transportation 4

5 WSTAW POLTEGOR TYTUŁ INSTYTUT SLAJDU FIELDS OF ACTIVITY Opencast Mining Technology of quarrying with use of explosives and optimization of drilling and blasting works Comprehensive development and utilization of energetic resources and mineral deposits Mining, processing and enrichment of minerals Seismic Analysis Rock Processing Geology, Hydrogeology, Geotechnics Resource geology and modelling Hydrogeology and groundwater remediation Engineering geology and geotechnics Chemical Examination of Water and Well Filters Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology Digital Modelling Environmental Protection and Geoinformation Biotechnology and waste utilization Thermal and biological conversion of organic materials Dispersed energy sources and Spatial modelling with GIS Brown Coal Gasification Biotechnology Environmental Microbiology Mining Machines and Conveyor Belts Technology, design and research of mining machines Testing and selection of conveyor belts Prototype hydraulic control systems Machine Diagnostics Thermal and Electrical Diagnostics and Hydraulic Systems, Conveyor Belts 5

6 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU Technology of utilization of mining wastes and decrease of their production during exploitation of gneiss depisit Doboszowice 1 6

7 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU Founding- National Center of Research and Development Operational Programe Intelligent Development POIR /12 Time of realization June 2018-May 2020 Project partners Poltegor-Insitute TESM Ltd. 7

8 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU The aim of the project The aim of the project is to develop a technology of production of new products from mining wastes during exploitation of gneiss deposit Doboszowice 1 for aggregate and ornamental stones. The goal is to create a new wasteless technology and to decrease the amount of wastes deposited so far in Doboszowice 1 mine. It is planned that the project will help to develope and to implement a technology of utilization of t/year wastes and to produce apart from feldspar materials also t/year of soil additives. 8

9 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU The wiew on Doboszice 1 mine and deposited wastes Decrease of amount of deposited wastes 9

10 WSTAW ONGOINGTYTUŁ PROJECT SLAJDU Doboszowice 1 gneiss deposit is equal of 205 Mio.t and the exploitation in 2016 was equal of 332 thousand of tones 10

11 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU Preliminary laboratory tests conducted so far showed that there is a possibility to use post mining wastes for production of feldspar material as well as soil additives. The works will include laboratory tests of mined material, currently produced by the mine products (construction and decoration), wastes from ongoing excavation. The laboratory tests will be dedicated to physical and chemical properties of rock materials, processing properties of materials (mechanical, magnetic). Based on the results of conducted tests a technology of exploitation as well as processing of wastes will be elaborated. Pilot instalation is to be develepoed in Doboszów mine. 11

12 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU Sheme of instalation for wastes grinding It is planned to implement technology of selective expolitation of the gneiss deposit and to implement mechanical processing of excavated gneiss with desintegration of grains of wastes (separation of feldspar and quarz grains) 12

13 WSTAW Ongoing project TYTUŁ SLAJDU Sheme of demeonstration instalation for production of - Feldspar materials - Soil additives 13
